Subject: Copenhagen Consensus
The goal of the "Copenhagen Consensus" was to confront ten great global challenges and set priorities inaddressing them. The challenges were selected from a wide UN list that included civil conflicts, climate change,communicable diseases, education, financial stability, governance, hunger and malnutrition, migration, tradereform and water and sanitation. The results of the analysis and a ranking of which are the most urgent, and alsowhich are most likely, if addressed, to produce results where the benefits exceed the costs, produces someinteresting results. The reviewers included 8 of the world's most distinguished economists, including NobelLaureates. They concluded that Kyoto, and carbon abatement measures more generally, are not worth the cost.The Kyoto Protocol was deemed a "bad project," and was ranked 1 6 th out of 17 proposed projects to advance
global welfare. The panel of economists, listed in the attached along with a description of the findings, urged thatclimate change be addressed through increased funding for research into more affordable carbon-abatementtechnologies and that approaches based on abrupt shifts to lower ghg emissions were needlessly expensive.This pretty much tracks with the policy prescriptions adopted by President Bush.
